Grewelthorpe
a North Yorkshire Village
Geldart Family
In May 2018 Jo Jolliffe contacted the site asking for information about Elizabeth Geldart of Grewelthorpe.
Just checking whether there’s any research about the Geldart family. Elizabeth aged 70 and her daughter Elizabeth aged 40 were living in Grewelthorpe in 1841. She was an agricultural worker at the age of 70!!
Jo is also asking for photos.
I’d like to make an appeal for any photos your readers may have, of any of the Geldart; Close or Walker Family.
In particular I’m looking for any photographs of Margaret Close, the wife of William Michael Walker or their children, including William, Emma, Marjory (Madge), Gertrude, Elizabeth.
I hope someone in Grewelthorpe or connected to Grewelthorpe might have one or any of them in their photo album.
If you can help please contact us.
